## Detailed Description

A concrete subclass of CharacterIterator that iterates over the characters (code units or code points) in a char16_t array.

It's possible not only to create an iterator that iterates over an entire char16_t array, but also to create one that iterates over only a subrange of a char16_t array (iterators over different subranges of the same char16_t array don't compare equal).

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ UCharCharacterIterator() [1/5]

icu::UCharCharacterIterator::UCharCharacterIterator | ( | ConstChar16Ptr | textPtr,
|  | int32_t | length
| ) |  |

Create an iterator over the char16_t array referred to by "textPtr".

The iteration range is 0 to `length-1`. text is only aliased, not adopted (the destructor will not delete it).

Parameters

  textPtr | The char16_t array to be iterated over
  length | The length of the char16_t array

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## ◆ UCharCharacterIterator() [2/5]

icu::UCharCharacterIterator::UCharCharacterIterator | ( | ConstChar16Ptr | textPtr,
|  | int32_t | length,
|  | int32_t | position
| ) |  |

Create an iterator over the char16_t array referred to by "textPtr".

The iteration range is 0 to `length-1`. text is only aliased, not adopted (the destructor will not delete it). The starting position is specified by "position". If "position" is outside the valid iteration range, the behavior of this object is undefined.

Parameters

  textPtr | The char16_t array to be iterated over
  length | The length of the char16_t array
  position | The starting position of the iteration

Stable:

## ◆ UCharCharacterIterator() [3/5]

|  | int32_t | length,
|  | int32_t | textBegin,
|  | int32_t | textEnd,
|  | int32_t | position
| ) |  |

Create an iterator over the char16_t array referred to by "textPtr".

The iteration range is 0 to `end-1`. text is only aliased, not adopted (the destructor will not delete it). The starting position is specified by "position". If begin and end do not form a valid iteration range or "position" is outside the valid iteration range, the behavior of this object is undefined.

Parameters

  textPtr | The char16_t array to be iterated over
  length | The length of the char16_t array
